Great news.... If you know of any Coate, Coates, Coats family member who got tested by Ancestry or DNA Heritage, it's now possible for them to join our Coats DNA Family Study. Here are the details. I hope this finds you all well. Our family has been blessed with 3 new grand babies in the last 5 months. The newborn twins will be keeping me busy!! We are pleased to announce the launch of a new feature we hope will benefit your projects: Y-DNA "Third Party" uploads. This will allow for the upload of 33 and 46-marker Y-DNA test results from Ancestry, GeneTree and Sorensen's SMGF. This was a natural development since the necessary tools were created to import the DNA Heritage database after they ceased operations. While the DNA Heritage transfer is free of charge as a result of that acquisition, we will be charging a nominal fee of $19 per person to import third party results into Family Tree DNA. This $19 fee will be credited to customers who order upgrades or add-ons. For an additional $39, customers who transfer their third party results will also have additional markers tested so that they can receive matches to Family Tree DNA's 25 or 37-marker level, ancestral origins, and other features of the personal page. Please forward the following link to those who may be interested in ordering the Third Party transfer: http://www.familytreedna.com/landing/ydna-transfer.aspx What do you get when you transfer third party results? The $19 fee will provide the customer with a Family Tree DNA personal page which will allow them to join Family Tree DNA projects freely.... and be included in our chart at http://www.ancestrees.com/dna/family.htm. Spread the word. Maybe we can get a slew of breakthroughs. :) Linda Coate, admin.
